However, he has tried to back-track on those comments by recently telling ESPN Brazil: "People say that I was the one that sold Salah and it is the opposite. I bought Salah.

"It is the opposite. I was the one that bought Salah. I was the one that told Chelsea to buy Salah. It was with me in charge that Salah came to Chelsea.

Salah netted 32 Premier League goals for the Reds, including another 12 in other competitions as well.
